Merry Christmas

Seasons greetings, etc etc etc.

Just got word from my brother-in-law, that’s always good for a chuckle.

His girlfriend is taking courses at Leeds this year, and, after much arm-twisting, Johnny went to visit her over Christmas.

Mostly, he’s taking food. According to her, English food is bad (yeah, well, alright, it’s a fair cop) and there aren’t many “foreign” restaurants, and everything is too expensive for her, anyway. Including groceries. I get the impression she’s surviving on boiled water, which, if she can survive on that she might as well eat English food.

All of that is neither here nor there, but they went to London to do some sightseeing and shopping, and they went to Harrod’s. Outside, they saw something they’d never seen before: snow.

They were, of course, overjoyed and elated. Until they found out it was fake snow being dispersed by Harrod’s.

Anyone in the Leeds area got any ideas for sightseeing?
